Proposed budget build ,your thoughts

[Slick500]

Here is my planned build was trying to keep under £350
Athlon x4 860k. £58.78
ASRock FM2A88M Extreme 4+. £50.22
Mushkin Blackline 8gb (2x4)1600/cl9 £33,13
Evga GTX 950 sc. £131.72
Thermaltake TR2 600w80+ PSU. £33.13
WD Blue Desktop 1TB 7200/64mb. £34.97
CiT Galaxy evo mid tower. £21.52
Samsung sh-224db DVDs writer. £10.96
Tot £374.43
Could really do with going cheaper but not sure how, saw a system with A10-7700k running R 270 in crossfire for £349, not sure how that would compare, any thoughts please. Do ineed an A88X chipset if I don't intend to run dual graphics, chose because in tier1

considering 350£ is equivalent to 500$ USD, i know you can get alot better than that for that price

Been searching around, trying to compromise the cheapest parts without running into reliability issues, not built a system for years, so not sure what to cut cost with

around 500$ USD is the cheapest if you want a PC that will last a while.
Do you have an OS already?

 

[Slick500]

Going to get windows 10 but I will have to do this even if I bought a pre built system, but most systems at this price are using A8 or A10 processors

you want a minimum of an i5 4460 with cheap motherboard and a gtx 960 if you want your PC to last for longer then 2 years on AAA titles A8 and A10 arent that good of CPU's these days

It would be nice.Unfortunately I've go next to no chance of building a complete system of that spec on such a low budget

I've checked the specs of the proposed system and I'd say it's already pretty good.

If you want to go even cheaper then I'd say you can get the A68HM-E33 since it's effectively the same compared to your listed board.

One thing that concerns me is the quality of the PSU, I'd suggest investing a few more quids for this one.

Wasn't too sure about the PSU was originally going with an Evga 600w 80+ around the same price as the one you have quoted. Didn't know what would be effected by the different motherboard chipsets would have

Well in practicality the only thing affected by the different chipsets is the number of RAM slots you can use

Up to you if you're fine with only 2 slots or if you want another 2 for expandability, Although I'd just stick with the one you mentioned (It has 4 ram slots vs the 2 I mentioned) so you can expand whenever needed

The slots did concern me as theram I've chosen is 2 x4gb , although i could go with a 8 gb module still leaving me 1 slot for future expansion to 16 gb, I think I read somewhere that 2 modules makes it easier on the mb chipset but what difference it really makes Im not sure
